Next Week
Next week is our first "normal" week of the school year. Friday will be a 6th hour day. Click here for the bell schedule.
Open House, New Parent Meeting and 13 Seminar Parent Meeting
On Tuesday, September 12th, we will hold our Open House, New Parent Meeting and 13 Seminar Parent Meeting on the same day. The New Parent Meeting will begin at 5:00 PM in J191 and our Open House will begin in J294 at 6:00 PM. Lastly, our 13 Seminar Parent Meeting will begin at 7:00 PM back in J191.
Our New Parent Meeting will feature an OCC counselor to talk about all things OCC and answer any questions you may have. During our Open House you will have the opportunity to meet all of our teachers and learn a little more about what they teach.
Activity Fee
Because we "Do School Different" we engage students in nontraditional ways through organized school outings to build positive relationships between students and staff. In order to make this happen, we ask that each family contribute $80 per student ($40 per semester) to our activity fund to help offset the costs of these trips. We have already booked our first trip to Blake’s Apple Orchard in the fall for an afternoon of activity, interaction and adventure. This trip alone historically costs approximately $2000 and costs are only going up. We request that you submit your 1st semester activity fee to Mrs. Kelley by cash or check payable to Oakland Early College by September 17th but we are happy to arrange an installment plan. We know some families, especially now, will not be able to pay the activity fee so we also accept donations. Many of us donate to nonprofit organizations throughout the year and OEC is the most important nonprofit in your child's life. We can provide you with a receipt for tax purposes if you so choose. We need you and your support to make this a great school year for ALL of our students!
Lunch
If you would like to order lunch for this week, please click here.
Back To School Process
All returning families and new families coming to us from WBSD must complete the back to school process in PowerSchool. This can only be completed using a parent PowerSchool login and not a student login. I emailed detailed information about this process in early August so check your email for more information if needed.
Book Return
If you have college books you have not returned, make sure you get those to Mr. Heffelbower ASAP. We have a cart for books in B201 as well.
Shuttle Bus
The shuttle departs from WBHS each day at 7:35, is located in the south bus loop and is route 22.

Teacher Snapshot
This is a new feature for OEC this year. Click the links below and get a snapshot of what is going on in classrooms in the coming weeks. These links will stay the same for the entire school year and teachers will add information as the year progresses. This is not designed to be a one stop shop of EVERYTHING that is happening in classrooms but it is a truly a snapshot of what is on happening and what is on tap. For complete information, please contact your students teacher or BETTER YET, create a weekly time to sit down and discuss classroom happenings with your student.
